Revell and Airfix Mayflower

(1/2) > >>

kpnuts:
Hi all going through my stash I've discovered I have these two kits of the same subject so I thought I would build them both at the same time so we can all see the differences between them.



First thing you can see is the colours are different on both of them.




I have no idea which is right  (if either) but I don't really care I will paint them both as per instructions.

The dark brown is the revell kit




The whiter coloured sails are the revell ones.

At first glance the revell kit is the better detailed of them.

Very interesting side-by-side builds.  Similar scales too.  :smiley:

Old Wombat:
Interestingly, according to ScaleMates, the Revell kit has the oldest moulds (1966) with Airfix being half a decade later (1971).

Frank3k:
Revell had a series of sailing ships in "box scale" from that era that were just fantastic. The H.M.S. Bounty and the Santa Maria were in the same series.
